Day 22: "and if you choke, just kiss"

The day began with a trip to Atkinson's to stock up on water for concessions. Half and half was also on my list. So after a quick trip to the grocery, I was back at the theatre ready to stock and set up concessions. That, however, didn't come until later. I spent a lot of the morning taking phone calls for ticket orders. I also worked on my list (of course). I'm slowly making my through the 1000s of patrons. 

I thought I would have to work on project meat today, but Mr. John was all over it. The meat we had ordered for the dinner scene had not been shipped out yet. So Mr. John put on his artsy hat and made it happen. It actually looked really good. Mr. John really knows how to use spray paint, among many other things in the theatre I've been finding out. It's very important to be able to cover lots of bases. I'm learning a lot from him.

At about 3:30 Ms. Denise gave me a tutorial on concessions set-up. We make coffee, regular and decaf. Set out the chocolate treats. Wipe down the counter. I had also set up the and stocked the waters I got earlier. The "stage" was set, and we were ready for the evening. Presentation is everything and the concession set up looked great.

Before heading home for a power nap. I walked the stage, and made sure the scenes I was in charge of were set, and ready for the night. I also had 2 more ticket sales before I left too! A drive home and a quick nap later, I was back at the Liberty getting ready for opening night!

Everything was set and ready to go.  I was a little nervous I'd mess something up again, but it went very smoothly. The audience made a huge difference. It seemed they were really enjoying the show. We had a great crowd, which was awesome!  After the show we had celebratory toasts and very fittingly some lobster bisque and steak. Everything was delicious, and everyone had a successful night. I feel like we can only go up from here, can't wait to see what tonight will bring! Until tonight...
